Refreshing, well-done transfer of Car mag print edition — to .pdf


It's been years since my reflexes and budget allowed me to indulge my passion for fast cars. Posting the occasional article here -- about F1 or the Dakar Rally -- is about as far as it goes, nowadays. But, I received an offer of a free sub to Winding Road in an email.

It’s been years since my reflexes and budget allowed me to indulge my passion for fast cars. Posting the occasional article here — about F1 or the Dakar Rally — is about as far as it goes, nowadays.

But, I received an offer of a free sub to Winding Road in an email. Registered [quick and easy] > downloaded the ,pdf of Issue 18 [15.5mb] > and began to graze among the current crop of interesting hardbody beasties.
Having blasted up the Pikes Peak path to the clouds in days of yore — and becoming more and more a fan of diesel-powered critters — special fun was reading the test of a VW Touareg V-10 turbo-diesel up that particular yellow brick road. Nothing but torque! Phew.
Cars aren’t always easy to photograph. The crew at WR do a terrific job. I won’t fill up more of this space with photos of enchanted autos, today. But, download a copy of the .pdf and see what kind of technology transfer is possible — in more ways than one.

Yes, it’s online for distribution — not browsing — but, offline afterwards, it’s a treat for motorheads. In my case, via the new clean GUI of Acrobat Reader 8.
